1. Yikes... this photo looks comfortable.

2. Rachel is clearly not feeling it.

3. Chandler, Ross, and Joey.

Ross is clearly the third wheel in this photo.

4. Joey giving a classic high school senior picture pose.

5. A slightly goth Rachel.

6. Phoebe or Ruth Fisher from Six Feet Under?

7. Chandler rocking one of his trademark sweater vests.

8. Monica was clearly too cool for the Sears Portait Studio.

9. Awww.... besties.

10. Two questions: why is Joey dressed like a cowboy and Rachel like my mom going to a wedding?

11. The gang looking a bit more like we are used to seeing them.

12. And of course we need a fountain photo.
